A website in Japan has stunned fans of the K-pop superstar BoA by offering an adult video purporting to feature the singer. The online adult video store is offering the flick titled "BoA Course" and tempting customers with a model who bears a striking resemblance to the singer.

Fans have been shocked by the news that a site in Japan is offering up for sale an adult video using the name of superstar singer, BoA.

Under the heading, "Superstar artist BoA?" the video is packaged just as if the singer herself appeared in the porn flick. On the lower screen, a collection of scenes are shown to titillate viewers’ curiosity. BoA’s management at SM Entertainment say they know of many Japanese stars who have experienced such things, and promised action after investigating further.

BoA, whose album “Best of Soul” was No. 1 in Japan this year selling more than 1 million copies, has been chosen to appear on broadcaster NHK’s Kouhaku Utagassen annual music show for the forth straight year. Her new single “Do the motion” topped Japan’s weekly Oricon Chart, the first time a foreigner has held that position in 21 years. The star, meanwhile, is busy appearing at all sorts of year-end music award ceremonies.

Make Your Own Preparedness Kit

After the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989 12,000 Bay Area residents found themselves displaced permanently or temporarily. Of those whose homes remained intact, many were temporarily without water, electricity and phone service.

In order to prepare for another such disaster SF Gate has compiled a list of supplies the American Red Cross recommends you keep on hand.

Store water in plastic containers such as soft drink bottles. Avoid using containers that will decompose or break, such as milk cartons or glass bottles. A normally active person needs to drink at least two quarts of water each day. Hot environments and intense physical activity can double that amount. Children, nursing mothers, and ill people will need more.

Store one gallon of water per person per day. Don’t forget your pets.

Keep at least a three-day supply of water per person (two quarts for drinking, two quarts for each person in your household for food preparation/sanitation).

Change this water every six months. Household liquid bleach to kill microorganisms:

Use only regular household liquid bleach that contains 5.25 percent sodium hypochlorite. Do not use scented bleaches, colorsafe bleaches or bleaches with added cleaners.

Add 16 drops of bleach per gallon of water, stir and let stand for 30 minutes. If the water does not have a slight bleach odor, repeat the dosage and let stand another 15 minutes.

The only agent used to treat water should be household liquid bleach. Other chemicals, such as iodine or water treatment products sold in camping or surplus stores that do not contain 5.25 percent sodium hypochlorite as the only active ingredient, are not recommended and should not be used.

FOOD

Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, vegetables.

Canned juices, milk, soup

Sugar, salt, pepper

High energy foods such as peanut butter, jelly, crackers, granola bars, trail mix; foods that will not increase thirst.

Avoid foods like rice, pasta and dry beans that require a great deal of water to prepare. Remember to restock your food once a year. BACK TO THE TOP
